Across Padjelanta National Park:
I absolutely loved this immersive nature and cultural experience.
It's one of the biggest physical challenges I have ever faced and with no network connection you completely disconnect and live in the moment.
Christian, our guide, has lived locally for over 20 years and is deeply connected in the Sami community. He shared with us his knowledge about local customs, ecology, nature habitats and anecdotes.
We were faced with some weather challenges (in this area you are bound to) but I always felt completely safe and in good hands.
If you are considering this holiday keep in mind that the huts have no running water, no showers and the toilets are external non water closets.
You will have to carry your own equipment and part of the food for the trip either in a backpack or sled amounting up to 20-30kg.
Thank you again Christian and Mirja - I’ll be back for more :-)

Christian, Mirja and Ola are incredibly kind and helpful, and the equipment we rented with them was all we could dreamed of!
We had planned a trip in Lapland for a long time but the luggage containing all our gear never arrived at the airport... We discovered Laponia Adventure and we called them wondering if they could rent us some of the things we didn't have anymore (alias our tent, camping mat, sleeping bag, cooking pots and even hiking shoes...) and hopefully they provided us everything (even hiking shoes!)
Everything we rented was really top equipment, and they have been incredibly helpful and supportive to meet us despite our very short bus connection in Jokkmokk.

We rented a canoe from Laponia Adventures for 5 days and had a great trip on the lakes in beautiful environment. Everything was very professional. Communication was efficient, gear was perfect and the service was exceptional. We came by public transport and Christian even went the extra mile to help us out of a situation that was due to our own fault. Highly recommended.

I had very high expectations going into this trip and yet somehow the trip exceeded my expectations. Our guides, Mirja and Hillevi, were not only experts, but also made the trip very fun. Every detail was perfect. The equipment was of high quality, the food was outstanding, the other clients were fun, the scenery was breathtaking, and the huts are fantastic.
Mirja is incredibly knowledgeable about the area as well as the local Sami people and culture. Mirja taught us a great deal about local customs and the life of the Sami people. She is passionate about helping give Sami a voice to the broader world.
I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. It was simplly perfect.

Hi Alan
I am glad that you enjoyed Laponia ski tour. It was great to get to know you and to hear about your winter camping tours in the US. I hope to see you back in area again in not too long.

It was our first time in Lappland so we wanted to try as much of the unique activities in the area as we could. We went snowmobiling with Christian in the evening and it was truly amazing experience! It was our first time snowmobilinig and Christian took a very good care of us so we felt really comfortable. He was also very communicative, helpful and easy to get along with. At first we were given special boots and clothes, so don't worry if you don't have your own special clothing. We strongly recommend their professional service and we will surely be using them again once we're back in Lappland!

Just returned from an excellent trip: Laponia ski tour. Everything was very well organized (equipement, food, transport, cabins, route and navigation). The company and experience of both Christian and Moa was amazing. For a beginner cross country skier this tour had the perfect balance between being active and relaxation (as everything is so well organized). The day roundtrips were perfect to try out the more hilly routes and even to see Norway!
We were also lucky with the weather. With the sun, the temperature and the Northern light (even this late in the season), it was perfect.
Top for other travellers: from half/end of april, the spring season comes to an end. Take this into account when you want stay longer in Arctic Sweden and do more activities.

Amazing half day ski on the frozen lakes and in the forest. Fire camp and hot lunch cooked by our very nice guide Christian. He even brought his two fluffy Samoyed to help pulling us. Everything was perfect, we had a great day and refreshing experience.

We rented ski packages to try for a few hours, nearby the rental place in Jokkmokk. Nice experience and setting! Great service and equipment, quick email answer for a short notice rental with useful information, it was easy to organise with them. We were very satisfied and would consider doing it again for a longer time ! Thanks!

We hired some hiking equipment from the team at Laponia Adventures. The only thing that matched the quality of the equipment was the service we received.
Everything was top line, in fantastic condition and clean. It was awesome to have borrowed gear that felt like it was my own. The sleeping bags were clean, the packs were versitile and comfortable and the range of other bits and pieces was extensive.
If you need to supplement or duplicate kit when heading into northern Sweden, then go to Laponia Adventures. Their stuff might even be better than your own.
